Rush away from Rush?

Should advertisers be pulling out of the Rush Limbaugh radio show?

They should, if they think consumers based on their association with the show will skip buying their products and move to competitors. They shouldn't if they think such switches won't happen. In fact staying put may turn out be the better move because there's all chances that post the controversy Rush's show audience numbers may probably go north.

Rushing to abandon Rush's show may not such a smart idea. At least not his quickly. Its too early to judge. My gut tells me there's enough conservatives in America who agree with Rush's position while disagreeing with his choice of words.

Staying on the subject, think about it. Should the taxpayer be paying for someone else's contraception? Extend that to everything else. Should the taxpayer be paying for anything that another buys?
